Miss Sparrer Sees Loneliness Amid Old Family Wealth
Self: as ISS ANNA SPARRER lingered at her breakfast table, dividing attention between an open letter and a teacup. She lived alone, felt keen loneliness, and longed for a child or companion. Her family memories fill a grand house now half moved, with antique rooms and inherited possessions that stand in for people.

Thanksgiving Every Day for Miss Sparrer and Andrew
Miss Anna Sparrer faces poverty and a moral test as Andrew Maclane's theft exposes her loneliness. She forgives him, then considers selling Miss Burrage’s furniture to lift Andrew out of vice. The minister helps with a loan, she adopts Andrew, and a new life of gratitude begins while Thanksgiving becomes daily.
